Recent studies suggest that early dexamethasone therapy may lessen the pulmonary inflammation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). To investigate whether early (<12 hr) postnatal dexamethasone therapy would reduce the incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD), a randomized, dou
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of daily inhaled beclomethasone (3 Γ 500 Β΅g) started on day 3 of life, with that of systemic dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg/day) started between days 11-13 on clinical variables, lung inflammation, and pulmonary microvascular permeability in preterm inf
What is the balance of benefits and risks of dexamethasone in extremely immature infants? The answer remains unclear. We feel that the risks of "early" treatment outweigh the benefits, because many infants who would not develop CLD will be treated. Treatment between day 7 and day 14 seems more appro
